A friend was 45 when she had her 2nd child

I have a friend who was 45 when she had her second child, 18 years after her 1st child. I have a cousin that was over 40 when she had her 1st child. She and her husband tried for over 20 years to get pregnant.

Do what makes you happy, because you will have to live with that decision.

My mother had 20 pregnancies, and her last was at age 45. So don't let anyone tell you your age is too old to have a child.

I recently heard a co-worker say she knows a woman of 47 years old, who is having her first baby. If you can still have a baby, I say go for it!!

I met a bright, beautiful girl the other day. She was 23 years old and working on her MBA. She was the 16th child of 16 children! Same mother and father! Her dad was 72 years old when she was born and her mom was 56 years old!

Everyone told her mom she should abort that baby. Her mom felt if God wanted her to have it, then she would. She was blessed with a beautiful, intelligent, wonderful daughter!

I'm 47, and have a beautiful 19 month old daughter. My husband and I are trying for another! When I mention having another baby to my family they give me this look like "whatever for?".

I just don't let it bother me, and neither should you. Best of luck to you...
